Little Busters is made by the same horrible people at Key that made Clannad, Air, and Kanon. I say horrible only in the sense that they make you attached to the characters and then something terrible happens to them and you end up sobbing for half the show. The basic premise of Little Busters is a group of friends get together and start a baseball team. However, the show has little to do with baseball. It's more along the subject lines of split personality disorder, child abuse, and narcolepsy. However, Key always finds a way to portray the oddest subject material in the cutest possible way (I mean, just look at that picture above!). Right now there's only one season available to watch. At the end of the season, you'll get a sneak preview at the next season. I can already tell that I'm going to need a bottle of wine and a box of tissues to be able to get through it. Although the show may make you shed a tear now and then, it's fantastic. It's got a great mix of comedy and slice of life, which I love. If you're interested in watching the 26 episode series, it's free to watch on Crunchyroll.
Kind of unrelated, but have you ever seen Avatar: The Last Airbender or it's sequel of sorts, Legend of Korra? If not, I highly recommend both. It's such a wonderful blend of childlike humor, with plenty for adults and even better, the story is just... mind blowing. The characters are FANTASTIC. The animation smooth and oh, the art. <3
